Nintendo Power Confirms Tales of Symphonia Wii in US

Whilst everybody was expecting Bandai Namco to team up with Nintendo to bring over its fantastic Nintendo DS RPG effort 'Tales of Innocence', the next main entry into the long-running RPG series (check out the hands-on preview here), it appears that Nintendo Power's major RPG announcement was in fact none other than Namco Tales Studio's Wii role-playing title, the successor to Tales of Symphonia on the GameCube, 'Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk'.

Set after the events of the GameCube hit, Knight of Ratatosk promises to feature a host of favourites from that game, such as Lloyd and Colette, as well as a plentiful supply of new, intriguing characters, like protagonist Emil and the heroine, Marta. More details can be found in Cubed3's in-depth preview of the game. It also appears that the subtitle has been amended for the Western market, meaning the game will now be called 'Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World', which directly relates to the fact that the this story is indeed based around the start of a new age.

Hideo Baba-san hinted in a C3 interview on Innocence at the fact this Tales of Symphonia would be getting a translation due to Bandai Namco knowing just how popular the GameCube title was in Europe, and now it appears to have been confirmed. So what are your thoughts on this in general, as well as the game's new name? Plus do you still want to see the excellent Tales of Innocence on DS get translated?

Be sure to share your thoughts below and your feedback will be passed over to Bandai Namco in Japan. Expect an interview related to this Wii game in the next couple of months as well, right here on Cubed3...
